When we married, I saw you as perfect,
The ideal husband and more;
I thought I knew all about you,
All the things to love and adore.
But when you became a father,
I saw new qualities to treasure.
You enrich all our lives in fresh ways;
As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.
Our children are forever blessed
To have a father like you,
And I love you more than ever,
Daddy.
To my own Papa:-
Papa you are my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
I still love and respect you,
The best man I've ever known.
I knew when I would marry
That my husband had to be
A great man, just like my father,
Papa, my hero you'll always be.
Thank you, Papa...for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
